ruth ke mujh se ghar ke dware baithi hai
gal phula kar pyare pyare baithi hai

apne kamre mein khamosh khade hain hum
aur tanhai baal sanware baithi hai

chhut raha hai ummidon ka daman ab
na-ummidi panw pasare baithi hai

socha tha bahar khane par jaenge
par wo mung ki dal baghaare baithi hai

chup baithe hain rail ki khidki se lag kar
aur udasi sath hamare baithi hai

baithe hain chup-chap akele hum is par
ek duniya us par kinare baithi hai
